This is the first time the court has weighted in on the &quot;ministerial exception,&quot; a constitutional principle that exempts religious organizations from laws that govern some employer-employee relations...This is why, for example, the Catholic church doesn&#39;t have to ordain female priests.&quot;<br /><br />Does anyone else besides me feel a chill at the threat of this ministerial exception being overturned? Our religious freedoms are being threatened from all sides, and this is just the latest attack. It makes me angry, and I wonder just what is happening in our country. If it comes down to where practicing our faith breaks the law, America will no longer be the land of the free. And there will be a lot of martyrs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-21604544408962297582011-10-06T10:18:30.724-07:002011-10-06T10:18:30.724-07:00It is chilling to think of the US going from relat...It is chilling to think of the US going from relative quiet to making martyrs within two generations.lgreen515https://www.blogger.com/profile/12936566288503176394noreply@blogger.com
